This process, known as filtration, is driven by the pressure difference between the blood inside the capillaries (hydrostatic pressure) and the fluid in the tissue spaces outside the capillaries (osmotic pressure). The hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid out of the capillaries, while the osmotic pressure in the tissue spaces helps to prevent excessive fluid loss by drawing fluid back in.

Almost any molecule smaller than 3 nm can pass freely through the capsule membrane. What is the process called by which water and dissolved particles are forced through the capillary walls into the Bo?

The process by which water and dissolved particles are forced through the capillary walls into the Bowman's capsule is called filtration. This occurs primarily due to hydrostatic pressure, which pushes the fluid from the glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's space, allowing smaller molecules and water to pass while retaining larger molecules and blood cells. This process is a crucial step in urine formation during kidney function.


What are the most narrow blood vessels?

Capillaries. They're so small that red blood cells are sometimes forced to travel single-file.


How are blood cells and platelets transported through the body?

Blood cells and platelets are suspended in blood plasma (mostly water) and moved through the body in blood vessels (arteries, veins & capillaries). The blood is forced through the blood vessels by the heart.

What is the function of the glomerolus?

The glomerulus is a network of capillaries in the kidney that acts as a filter to remove waste and extra fluid from the blood, forming urine that will be eventually excreted from the body. It is a key component of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney, and plays a vital role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and filtering system.


How is kidney nephron adapted to its function?

Blood is filtered through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule. The Bowman's capsule empties the filtrate into a tubule that is also part of the nephron. The function of the glomerulus is to filter the resultant fluid that will become urine.


Filtration results when substances are forced through capillary walls by osmotic pressure?

Filtration results when nutrients are moved through the capillary walls by hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries is greater than the osmotic pressure so there is a net movement of fluid and/or solutes out of the capillaries.


Current of air forced backwards by aircraft propeller?

yes, a current of air forced backwards causes the air craft to move.


What forces fluid from the blood into the Bowman's capsule?

Fluid is forced from the blood into Bowman's capsule primarily due to the hydrostatic pressure generated by the blood flow within the glomeruli. This pressure exceeds the osmotic pressure of the plasma proteins and the hydrostatic pressure within the capsule itself, leading to filtration. The process is part of renal filtration, where substances are selectively filtered from the bloodstream to form urine.
